Agreed. I also saw Chris Evans in Lobby Hero and he made me feel feelings, even with an ugly mustache and as a horrible character.

My boss says, “Maybe YOU should talk to them about [problem behavior]..its better from a colleague.” and, “Yeah, for years I’ve had weekly meetings with [problem person] to discuss his inappropriate behavior.” *shrug emoji*

I wish I could find it again, but I read an article about how those Ancestry tests can only use comparative results. And since Native Americans are historically distrustful of something like that, they don’t have a sample to pull from and so Native American DNA won’t show up.

Isn’t this the magazine plot from 13 Going on 30?

Yeah, ours isn’t too different, but from what I understand with the amount of standardized testing elementary teachers have to do these days, they have to scale back on some things and social studies and science are the first to go.

Haha, as I was typing my previous response a co-worker was telling me that a student was caught cheating on his midterm, my co-worker told him he was getting a zero for cheating. The student said, “Go fuck yourself.” He called the parent and the parent said her son felt disrespected because the teacher called him…

Man, these days kids can scream, “You’re a fucking liar, you fucking bitch” in the middle of class and down the hallway. Then, in the parent conference, the parent will turn to the teacher and say, well you did lie so I don’t see the problem. And the principal will agree.

Ain’t that the truth! Will I ever learn to stop reading comments on teacher articles?

Yeah, most of the elementary teachers I know don’t even teach any social studies. I used to teach 6th grade and...yikes.

Ive been teaching history for 15 years and we’ve never even HAD textbooks to use! There’s some in the book closet I think but they still have the Soviet Union labeled on all the maps.

Yep. 100%

Just commented to someone else about this book. Seconded.

Have you read “Dreamland”? One of the most interesting things I recall from that book was that the emergence of Wal-Marts in all these small towns made it easier for addicts to steal a wide range of things to fund their habits.

I was just gonna reply to him with a fuck you, but this is much, much better. thanks!

that I am out here too, doing the hard work of continuing to accept and love myself as I am, even if it turns out the plot twist at the end is that no one else ever will.

I have never understood this.

I have a lot of family and friends in Alabama and...I don’t know. A surprising number of them see this shitbird for what he is. I have hope.

I hate when people turn their personal Facebook pages into sales pages. “here’s a picture of my kid, here’s a picture of me wearing Raspberry Rose in Lipsense! Buy Lipsense!...here’s the family at disneyworld...”

I mean, that can be true for hip-hop as well. My students don’t know shit about selling drugs or murdering people but they sure do rap about it a lot.
